Cristiano Ronaldo has said Manchester United's owners, the Glazer family, do not care about the club - and has claimed senior figures doubted him when he said he could not attend a pre-season tour because his daughter was seriously ill

"You should ask this question to him ," Ronaldo said when asked about his former colleague's comments."But I don't know, I don't know why he criticises me so bad. "Probably, because he finished his career in thirties. So, I'm still playing high level. I'm not gonna say that I'm looking better than him, which is true, but...!"
